BAd Ice- be careful

[deephaven15]

Last evening i saw a guy drive out from carson's boat launch on a new ATV. He made it about 50 yards and tried to turn around. He went thru the ice and luckily got out. the wheeler was left floating upside down. LUCKILY HE HAD HIS ICE PICKS, CAUSE THATS HOW HE GOT OUT. Just be careful out on Minnetonka. The guy said he saw lots of open holes, so he was turning around to get off the lake. But he ended up in one of those holes.

Wow. I wanted to go out there. So much for that.

Independance is getting the same way. I haven't seen anyone go in yet, but we lost over an inch of ice and holes were opening op. The ice heave that was directly out from the landing is now broken up and many areas it is 15 feet of open water.

Even using my GPS to track my path back last night, I found that where I crossed early in the afternoon was now broken up as well. Had to go the long way around.

BE SAFE OUT THERE!!!!

Definitely is some bad ice out there, I saw a guy today on Odowd Lake today pulling off his permanent with a 4 wheeler when the house went though the ice. It’s getting a little soft out there for me, I am going to wait for colder weather until I go back out.

its also raining pretty hard now. ice holes will get bigger, as the water will swirl down the holes.

I hope the rain changes over to snow in the north, we don't need to ruin all the ice.

lots of trucks on mille lacs today.

Was it the white perm that had been out there quite a distance? I was there Friday afternoon. Just to walk out from shore the ice was cracking and very soft. Everyone I asked was saying between 5-7 inches. I never found that much, I only measured 4-5 inches. Stayed a few hours and caught a few small perch. It was nice to get out but I could not believe the permenant houses out there.

They will be floating by morning, after watching the radar

it does not look good for the ice anywhere south of brainerd.

Current temp here in New Ulm is 45 and its

after 9pm at night, been warming up all day and still going up.

and Rain, over 1/2 inch already and its really coming down

out there right now.
